Safe for a woman in Abuja? Recommended areas?

darkh0rse27

Is it comfortable and/or safe for a woman to be living alone in Abuja? I would be living with someone else for the majority of the time, but I am sure there will be instances where this person would have to go to their hometown or visit other relatives.  I am quite obviously foreign - basically look like I have never seen the light of day, haha. My biggest concern I suppose is break-ins, etc... Are there any neighborhoods you recommend me checking out that might have higher security and/or a higher concentration of °µÍø½ûÇøs?

Dear DarkHorse,

We have many  private housing estates in Abuja and most of them are safe.
Local  residents and °µÍø½ûÇøraiates do not experience break-ins.

Your life and properties are also well protected by these private housing
estate managements. They also have their own private security guards
who maintain a 24hour security watch over their estates.

You can find such estates at Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse Zone 5,
Wuse zone 6 and  Zone 7. These areas are safe and well protected.
Gwarinpa too is safe for °µÍø½ûÇøs.

There are other safe areas but I cannot outline them all.

More than that, Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria. There are many
ambassadors here, °µÍø½ûÇøriates, staff of international organizations
and staff of  NGOS' here. For these reasons, we have a secured 24-hour
security protection provided by the Nigerian Police for both °µÍø½ûÇøriates
and locals.

It is very rare to hear that an °µÍø½ûÇøriate was robbed or harmed in Abuja.

Please feel safe to visit Abuja. Your host too can confirm the safety of this city.

When you visit, I will be glad to show you around.

Feel free, Abuja is safe. Abuja welcomes you.

Thanks.
